You will develop brand new software services for mission critical space safety and sustainability applications which will automatically coordinate with external systems and organizations rapidly, reliably, and at scale.
You'll work in a fast-paced, high-impact environment, tackling complex challenges in secure satellite communications. This role requires deep expertise in high-assurance, fault-tolerant software and proficiency in modern programming languages such as Rust. You'll collaborate closely with hardware, security, systems, and product teams to develop scalable, real-time solutions tailored for government customers.
This role is based in Sunnyvale (preferred), CA, with U.S. relocation benefits available. Due to the sensitive nature of the ALG projects, onsite work is required five days a week.
This position requires that the candidate selected be a U.S. Citizen in order to comply with U.S. government-imposed requirements related to the nature of the work and/or where it will be performed.
